About Us

We're a small greenhouse operation located in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. We have about 8000 square feet of greenhouse space and grow bedding plants for sale in the spring. We try to grow all the expected things, plus a few extras that may not be available at other places. We think we're a good alternative to the big box operations. Come out and give us a try.

The business was started about eighty years ago by my grandparents who began by milking cows and raising cut flowers for sale in the City of St. Paul.   Through the years a few things have changed; there are no farms around anymore, the old barn is gone, and there are no longer any cows, but we're still here growing plants as has been done for three generations.

Because we're so small, we have other jobs to help make ends meet. We work evenings, weekends, and just about every free hour we have available to grow our crop through late winter and spring. Our spring sales season only lasts about six weeks. Then we go back to our other jobs and start planning for next year.
